I am looking to buy a lightweight bicycle for my 58 year ancient mother for her birthday. She is currently using my ancient mountain bike which is way too heavy for her to mount on her car and drive to a trail. I was hoping someone could identify places to buy lightweight bikes and some excellent brands i can look into for her. they do not automatically have to be womens bicycles just lightweight enough for her to be able to lift onto the bike horns on her trunk lacking any help. If people can suggest bike brands and shops, that would be fantastic. Also im a student right now so please dont suggest a 10,000 dollar bike, lol, the cheaper the better. thanks all.
by cheap i mean preferably under 1000. I know im not going to get one for 20 bucks. thx all

if you have a look on the Giant site, there are some excellent hybrids at a reasonable fee.
You stated, “the cheaper the better.” Incorrect. This is your Mother we’re discussion about here…and you want ‘cheap’?
You want a excellent all-around bike for Mom? See associations below. And no – they are not cheap. Start at about $385 & go up.
Get her a bike from the local bike shop. A comfort or hybrid bike will be much liter then a mountain bike. If she rides on smooth paved bike paths the hybrid will be better. If the path is gravel a comfort bike will be more comfortable. Bikes come in different sizes so take her to a bike shop to get fitted for the genteel size.
